Stranger Things: Movie and Gender Barriers

stranger things: Stranger Things was decreed the Show of the Year, and its cast member, Millie Bobby Brown, was named Best Actor in a Show, according to CTV. Beauty and the Beast was the Movie of the Year, with its star, Emma Watson, the Best Actor in a Movie. For this, the 26th edition of what was formerly known as the MTV Movie Awards, TV was added to the mix. But the awards had another trick up its sleeve, introducing a policy of breaking down gender barriers, as men and women competed jointly in the acting categories. A non-binary person is someone who doesn't identify with either gender. The policy was put into practice at the top of the show by presenter Asia Kate Dillion, who proudly noted she has been able to break down gender barriers as the first openly non-binary actor to play an openly non-binary actor on a major TV show, Showtime's drama series Billions.
